Angela Duckworth

In her twenties, Angela left a difficult job as a management consultant to teach mathematics to the seventh grade of a public school in New York City. Teaching her in the classroom for several years is very important for success. In order to elucidate why some people work harder and longer than others, Angela got a doctorate in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is currently a professor. She is also the founder and CEO of MacArthur Fellow and Character Lab in 2013.

Angela Duckworth, professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, documented the importance of grit in business success. In her book "Toughness: Perseverance and Passion", Duckworth analyzed the high achievement from commercial and sports circles to military and spelling bees and discovered that low talent ranking is a predictor of success . In many cases, lifelong learning requires efforts outside the comfort zone. Trying to acquire new skills and knowledge in unfamiliar territory may be difficult for most people but learning and accompanying success never happens without overcoming this psychological barrier.

This is TED 's lecture by Angela Lee Duckworth in 2013. He is a psychology teacher. Angela is studying how gravel, self-discipline, and perseverance can predict individual success. In her speech, she said that gravel is a predictor of student success over any other factor. Test scores, IQ and even safety in the classroom are not the best way to predict success. Defining gravel is one thing. Application of gravel is another. Some people seem to have been born with gravel in the blood. This is just a function, it is only the selected function. For the rest of us, we have to plant gravel in our hearts garden. Fortunately, due to our brain's adaptability, gravel will grow not only in any way, but also prosper.

Angela Duckworth is the world's leading "gravel" expert, a factor of personal success. As defined by Duckworth, courage is passion and sustainable sustainability applied to long-term outcomes without paying special attention to remuneration and recognition. It combines flexibility, ambition, self-discipline, to pursue goals that take months, years, even decades. Psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania began studying gravel by teaching mathematics to grade seventh. She understands that IQ is not the only factor separating from those struggling for successful students, and through time-critical goals - you can predict success very much
